Dow at highest point since 2008

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks capped off a solid week on either side of the break even line Friday, as investors hesitated to make big bets ahead of a key vote on a second bailout for Greece.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) rose 46 points, or 0.4%, closing at the highest level since May 2008. The S&P 500 (SPX) edged up 3 points, or 0.2%, and the Nasdaq (COMP) lost 8 points, or 0.3%.

Investors are optimistic that European finance ministers will sign off on Greece's latest economic reform proposal when they meet Monday. Their approval is needed in order for Greece to receive bailout funds and avoid default on a €14.5 billion bond redemption in March.

But until they receive official word, investors are taking a breather going into the long weekend and Monday's big meeting.

"From an investor's perspective, European leaders have over-promised and under-delivered over and over for the past several months," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group. "Until we see some signatures on a dotted line, there are still questions about Europe's ability to contain its issues."

Friday's muted moves came a day after the stocks gained more than 1%, with the Nasdaq closing at a decade high.

All three indexes posted solid gains for the week. The Dow rose 1.2%, while the S&P 500 added 1.4%. The Nasdaq jumped nearly 1.7%.

For the year, the Dow is up almost 6%, and the S&P 500 is up more than 8%. The Nasdaq has made an impressive 13% run.

"All the economic data recently has been pointing to a rebound in economic growth, which has propelled stocks higher," said Sheldon. "But the market might be getting ahead of itself from a sentiment perspective, so it may be due for a pause or a brief pullback."
